Feta Flatbread

Flatbreads are popular in this house, really popular, and this ones no exception. It's so quick to make and the base is really the same as the one I use for pizza in my 2 ingredient pizza dough. It really only takes a few minutes to get the dough together and the choice of pizzas and in this case flatbreads it gives you is huge.

I've given you some ideas below for additions you can make to this flatbread: We've been particularly into Feta cheese recently and so the feta flatbread was always gonna happen! You'll need a good flat baking sheet to pop this into the oven, I use one without sides so you get good colored crusts on it.

I guess this is a different kind of garlic bread side. I serve this with pasta dishes, anything that has a sauce that need mopping up gets one of these flatbreads with it. I also sometimes make this yummy classic Focaccia bread which is along the same lines.

Easy Flatbread

If you're new to making flatbreads, I'm happy to tell you they're likely to be something you start making often. We have a whole load of them in my local supermarket and I used to buy them in abundance. I'd keep them in the freezer and although they were super easy to stick on the oven, they're so little hassle to make that not only are they better in that they're Cleaner, they're way tastier when they're fresh. Plus, you get to add all the things you love...:)

Ingredients

The ingredients list for this Feta flatbread is not long and the ingredients are likely things you have already in your pantry and fridge.

Flour

I use either Einkorn, Buckwheat or wholemeal. The wholemeal flour gives you a slightly heavier bread, while the buckwheat and Einkorn flours give the appearance of regular white flour, and they're a bit lighter. It's very hard here to find self-raising versions of the flours I like to use and so I simply add a teaspoon of baking powder to turn the flours into their self raising versions.

Using a little baking powder will cause the dough to rise a little, which gives you a 'puffier' and more airy dough than my regular pizza dough.

Yogurt

Greek yogurt is awesome and I use it all the time. Why does Greek yogurt work so well in dough? It contains fermentation byproducts and hydrates the dough. I always use full fat Greek yogurt.

Spinach

We've become a family of spinach lovers in this family. That said, try not let the kids watch you make this because the small mountain of spinach used to top the flat bread is enough to scare them off. It's funny but spinach wilts down to a ridiculously small amount so don't be shy. Pile it on. We use roughly 2 - 3 cups of sliced spinach leaves here.

Feta Cheese

Feta cheese is easy to find where I live and is a staple I buy often. It's a crumbly cheese and so you don't get the same melt you do with say, a Cheddar cheese, and the texture is also different. The taste is mild and great for younger kids.

Additions

You can essentially out anything you like onto a flatbread much as you would a pizza. Some of the additions we like to make are:

• Peppers (red peppers are the ones we prefer)
• Tomatoes
• Olives
• Red onions
• Zucchini and other veggies
• Artichokes ( artichoke hearts)
• Mozzarella cheese

Oven Baked

This Feta flatbread takes just 12 minutes in a hot oven and can be made while something else is cooking away in the oven. I put this on a lower shelf if I have something already cooking in the oven and I try to time it so they both come out together.

You can make this a little ahead of time if you like. I sometimes put this together in the morning and leave it in the fridge until I'm ready to pop it in the oven to have with dinner later that night.

Leftovers

If you find yourself in the unlikely position of having leftovers, wrap them in some parchment paper and pop them into the fridge. I add this to lunchboxes and it makes a good lunch the following day.
